I was pretty pissed after Ole Miss but was pretty confident Crowton was the main problem. Once he replaced Gary it was good again. I've been with him pretty much the whole way.

I have.

UT game last year was the only time I doubted him.

As one of the leaders of the "Pro-Miles" faction, I was extremely critical after the Magnolia Meltdown. I also thought we should have moved on the OC a little earlier. I have never waived in loyalty and was never "done" with him, as you say. I've had to defend him against some pretty harsh language on here and other places.

With the exception of last years Tennessee game, I have been on his bandwagon since 2005... Just something about him has always been very likable. I even stayed level headed after the Ole Miss 2009 debacle... Not saying I was happy with that, but I still wanted him to be our coach.

I have. Check out my name. Now, it's proven and everybody is finally getting on the bus. Who else has called the kind of plays he has called and they work. Nicky tried last night and we seen how that turned out.

Not me. I was ready to throw him to the wolves last night.

Not me. I lost all confidence in him after the UT near-loss. Horrible clock mgmt at Ole Miss, against Penn St, and then the same thing happened against UT. I thought his success was smoke & mirrors, more idiot than savant, and any future success would be in spite of him, not attributable to him.

After the 'Bama game last year, I admitted that I was wrong. The man has steered the ship straight. LSU is lucky to have a damn strong coach, and a fine human being by all accounts. Geaux Miles.

IN from the first season and really IN when he let Perillioux go knowing he didn't have a QB...... Takes intestinal fortitude. He paid dearly for it with the thoughts about hime for several years, but it was the right decision...

Sometimes....

"if you build it they will come"

takes some strange forms......

I stuck with les the entire time. I had some knock down drag outs with Nuts last year before he got himself banned.

I always felt like the caricature of les miles did not match up with the quality coach I believed him to be. Did he give me reason to doubt that opinion ? frick yes but I stuck with it and here we are.

I have cussed him to no end a couple of nights but I have not once called for his head. He has made some bonehead moves but he has also made some genious moves in certain situations that has won us some games we probably shouldn't have won. GEAUX MILES!

Also, while all of the media was passing him off as an idiot, he was quietly building one of the damn strongest teams we have had here at LSU!

I've been a Les supporter from the beginning even when few would vocal up for him during the RP diaster. He's a great coach coming into his own after playing and coaching under Bo, one of the best.

My first post in '06 was something like Les Is More. I was immediately jumped by Maximus and pals. I have not and will not waver, but I will scratch my head from time-to-time.

Les won me over with the first "Miles to Michigan" bit and his "Have a GREAT DAY!" presser. Since then I have been frustrated with him many times. I found myself defending him last year armed with only "Well, I'm not sure it's Les... Crowton COULD be the problem, but it's Miles' responsibility" as my argument. That was probably my most uncertain time about Miles. However, watching him continue to grow into his role as an LSU guy, and from what I can see, a truly good man, has bought him a lot of credit from me. He has certainly earned my trust (again).
